TL;DR: Traditional methods of sandalwood production with complementary and more advanced in vitro technologies are summarized to provide a basis for researchers, conservationists and industry to implement sustainable programs of research and development for this revered genus Santalum.

TL;DR: The CBF-dependent pathway may play a crucial role in increasing cold tolerance in Santalum album and candidate genes in the terpenoid biosynthetic pathway were identified, eight of which were significantly involved in the cold stress response.

TL;DR: The results suggest that genes encoding nodulin-like proteins may be important for haustorial morphogenesis in S. album and improve the understanding of haustorium development in root hemiparasitic species and will allow further exploration of the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying plant parasitism.

TL;DR: Analysis of the endogenous hormone levels and the structural characters in S. album haustoria indicated that the haustia were able to synthesize phytohormones, which appeared to be necessary for cell division and differentiation during haustorial development.

TL;DR: The effects of plant growth regulators and their concentrations on the induction of somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis from leaf and shoot explants of O. integerrima are studied for the first time.
